Blood Test
Lipid Profile
About this test
A Lipid Profile is a blood test that measures different types of fats (lipids) in the blood. It is mainly used to assess the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions and to monitor the effectiveness of cholesterol-lowering treatment.
Preparation
A lipid profile can often be performed without fasting. However, a healthcare provider or laboratory may request 8–12 hours of fasting, particularly when triglycerides need careful assessment or when the lipid test is being combined with other fasting tests.
